Whether your goal is to move better, get stronger, lose weight, or improve overall health, staying consistent with the right training plan is the key to success.

Invest in your health and get matched with the perfect trainer for your specific goals.

Take the First Step: Schedule Your Smart Start

Get started with two complimentary Smart Start Training sessions. After learning about your goals, preferences, etc., your trainer performs a brief movement and fitness assessment and then orients you to our strength equipment. The goal here is to make you feel confident in navigating the equipment in the fitness center on your own.

During the second session, your personal trainer will answer any questions remaining from the first session, and will put you through a more dynamic workout to give you a taste of on-going Personal Training sessions.

Personal Training Packages

Our Personal Trainers will customize a program that fits your individual personality, fitness goals, and lifestyle. Your program will be updated regularly keeping training exciting, you accountable, and motivated to achieve the best results. Boredom is never an issue!
